BalletcoForum Moderators

You will notice that a number of posts have exceptionally been removed. The Forum has been made aware that the school has asked for MDS awards not to be made public. One of our Moderators was messaged by several members asking for posts to be removed and she spent about half an hour going through the thread and hiding all the relevant posts she could find. It is fortunate that our Moderator happened to be checking the forum and found the DMs fairly quickly. Please note that if you have concerns about posts you should use the report button as this means that it will be brought to the attention of all moderators so there is more chance of prompt action. Our Moderation committee are all volunteers who have lives away from the Forum. BalletCo Forum Moderators
